Biography
Hsuan Lo is a PhD scholar, studied in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Tzu Chi University. His lab is interested in neuropharmacology particularly in alcohol effects on the central nervous system and cardiovascular function. His studies focus on the mechanism of acute ethanol intake action on the glutamate signaling within the rostral ventral lateral medulla (RVLM). He has performed the whole animal model with practiced skill in RVLM, microinjection of drug and femoral artery surgery for measuring blood pressure, and also have set up the HPLC system to detect the neurotransmitter content. On the other hand, his master's thesis was of Amyloid-beta peptides on NMDA receptor activation in rat sympathetic preganglionic neurons using whole cell, patch clamp technique. All his training has led him to know more about, how the CNS works to control cardiovascular function.
